What's that? A comic book worth $125? It might be when it's the new version of the influential art-comics anthology Kramers Ergot and when it's provided the best comics artists in America with a nearly two-foot-high canvas to do innovative, exciting new work. If you can't afford to shell out the cash for the book, you can at least get a good look at a copy — and meet a number of the comics artists behind it, like Gabrielle Bell, Kim Deitch, David Heatley, Kevin Huizenga, Ben Katchor, and Adrian Tomine — at Desert Island in Brooklyn Saturday, when Buenaventura Press is throwing a release party from 4 to 10 p.m.

On today's Comics Page, Vulture is proud to present dramatically-reduced-in-size stories from John Brodowski, Jonathan Bennett, and Anna Sommer, in our exclusive four-page excerpt from Kramers Ergot 7, out this month from Buenaventura Press.
